sandipan> How could I ask it NOT to require a passphrase at all ?

Yes.  Do not use "-des3", that's the flag that makes it require a
password:

$ openssl genrsa -h
usage: genrsa [args] [numbits]
 -des            encrypt the generated key with DES in cbc mode
 -des3           encrypt the generated key with DES in ede cbc mode (168 bit key)
 -idea           encrypt the generated key with IDEA in cbc mode
